Best Cameo Ever by a TNG cast member

OinkyConfidence@reddit

Was particularly funny too because Dorn lost a bunch of weight after he 'quit' Worf in 2002's Star Trek Nemesis, making it even funnier when he did this cameo!

Oh okay, true. I haven’t seen Picard yet and would’ve been sad if Worf didn’t make an appearance.

[-]

WolfBST@reddit

Don't bother. The Picard series is not worth it...

[-]

CeruleanEidolon@reddit

Nah, it just doesn't have the gloss of nostalgia on it. If it were possible to be objective, it would probably rank on par with much of TNG. Certainly better on the whole than much of season 1.

[-]

First of all, we don't talk about TNG season 1. And secondly the main problem I have with it is that it's so uneven. It would have been an okay series if they had known what to do with it. The first season had a pretty good premise but they tried to much at once. They could've spread that plotline over the three seasons. Season 2 was complete dogshit. Season 3 was pure nostalgia bait that could've worked and was ultimately what the majority of the fanbase wanted but the story was so bland and predictable that I was never really immersed in what happens next

Do we not? I’m not really a Trekkie by any means. I saw the last couple of seasons of TNG as they were airing when I was very young but haven’t watched anything Star Trek related until I binged the first season over the last few days and I was really surprised at how much I liked it.

The main benefit of watching Picard is that it makes you appreciate Enterprise a lot more.

[-]

PunishedTlacuache@reddit

Watch the last season. It's great

[-]

BetterVantage@reddit

I would personally say “It has great PARTS.” And it does, along with many, many bad parts.

[-]

Ike_In_Rochester@reddit

I’d say Worf’s story in season 3 is possibly the best.

[-]

PunishedTlacuache@reddit

I just liked it for the nostalgia porn. Seeing LaForge and Data strutting down halls of the Enterprise was awesome

[-]

petemill@reddit

As far as I remember we don't see any halls or any other sets apart from the bridge, which was a problem for me as it just feels virtual.

[-]

BetterVantage@reddit

100%. Don’t get me wrong, I’m SO glad we have it. It felt like a true send off for the TNG crew.
And the first episode with Bevs going all Sarah Conner felt like finally giving her character the credit she deserved.

There’s a lot I love about it.

[-]

PunishedTlacuache@reddit

I agree with you that the rest of the series was... interesting. But that last season made up for it for me. Will I watch it again? No. Will I watch DS9 again? Yes

[-]

TimeTravelingPie@reddit

I'd rephrase to "It has parts, some with great actors"

[-]

AppropriateCap8891@reddit (OP)

And I am not sure it is the same when he appears as Worf.

Here, he was playing Rick, and wearing a bargain basement Worf costume. I mean, just look at how cheap that baldrick is.

[-]

OinkyConfidence@reddit

Yeah, and that helps sell the bit too, making it even funnier. He's the actual Worf actor, cosplaying as Worf, with cheap costuming and props. Hilarious.

[-]

WithASackOfAlmonds@reddit

he was but he was very svelt

strangway@reddit

Oh man, I loved The Tick

BriMaster9000@reddit

I wish Amazon hadn’t cancelled it

HoundTakesABitch@reddit

I don’t understand why it didn’t last. It was literally just Seinfeld with superheroes.

[-]

owlpellet@reddit

Superheroes were not something with media cred until MCU blew the doors off a few years later.

[-]

HoundTakesABitch@reddit

Yeah, it sucks when things are ahead of their time. Same situation with Firefly being cancelled but then Guardians of the Galaxy being such a hit. It’s basically the same concept just happened at the perfect time.

[-]

strangway@reddit

Now the CW is nothing but comic book TV

Thewallmachine@reddit

Such a good show. Beyond phenomenal cast. Sad, it had a short run.

[-]

HoundTakesABitch@reddit

The first season was fantastic. The second season not so much.

[-]

ImeldasManolos@reddit

That guy playing the tick was so hot

Putty? Kronk? Sheriff Stone?

The animated series was the best!

Sir Pat Stew on Frasier is a favorite of mine.

[-]

EngagedInConvexation@reddit

For the longest time, I thought Sir Pat Stew was gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Dunno why and I don't think Frasier is solely to blame, but I think It played a part.

It wasn't until he started posting grams with his girlfriend (now wife, maybe then too?) high as a fucking kite and livin life.

[-]

imnojezus@reddit

He’s not gay but his boyfriend is. That’s a joke, but I think there are more pictures online of him kissing Ian Mckellan then there are of his wife 😄

[-]

Electronic-Sell-6402@reddit

My favorite Patrick Stewart - Ian McKellan story was he was asked about if him and Ian do everything together and he said "yes. In fact one time I was next to him at a urinal and was curious if he was Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White. And turns out he is Gandalf the clean shaven."

[-]

imnojezus@reddit

Gandalf the Smooth is my new stripper name.

[-]

Dobako@reddit

Reminds me of April ludgate from Parks and Rec, "this is my husband Patrick, and thats his husband Ian"

[-]

Dr_Christopher_Syn@reddit

For the longest time, I thought Sir Pat Stew was gay.

According to his own memoir, Sir Pat is a serial (hetero) cheater.

[-]

Due_Example1096@reddit

One of my favorite episodes in my absolute favorite show!

[-]

MJP87@reddit

But what about Peter O'Toole?

[-]

Rebel_Saint@reddit

Dr. Frasier Crane: I'm not gay.

Alistair Burke: Oh Frasier, please don't tell me you're still struggling with those issues.

Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh I like you so much and I love our friendship, but I'm afraid I could never be more than friends.

Alistair Burke: Would three weeks on Capri in Bertolucci's villa change your mind?

[thinks about it for a long long time]

Dr. Frasier Crane: It's worth a try.

HTired89@reddit

"he does not think I'm gay!"

"He thinks I'm gay and I'm standing next to my pregnant wife"

Many pop in on Morgan Bateson’s ongoing holodeck program to check in on him. He’s mental health took quite a hit when he lost almost a century stuck in a time loop.

Michael Dorn as a psychologist on Castle

kirbysdreamland84@reddit

Brent Spiner on "Night Court"

[-]

AppropriateCap8891@reddit (OP)

I am not even sure that would count, as he did that before TNG.

He was actually offered a permanent spot on the show, but turned it down so he could play Data.

[-]

JohnnyEnzyme@reddit

That seems kind of wild to me, on the surface. A defendant who shows up every single week to the same court? Or maybe "permanent," in that he'd show up 3-4x a season or whatever.

[-]

SVNBob@reddit

IIRC, he was supposed to take over running the newsstand in the cafeteria.

[-]

AppropriateCap8891@reddit (OP)

Exactly. I read in several articles over the years this was the intent.
